The easiest way I have found is to use the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgtf\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 command. The syntax of the command is:<\/p>\n

gtf Horizontal Vertical RefreshRate<\/code><\/p>\n

so if you wanted a screen resolution of 1024\u00c3\u2014768 with a 100 hz refresh rate the command would be:<\/p>\n

gtf 1024 768 100<\/em><\/p>\n

and the command will show you a line something like this:<\/p>\n

# 1024\u00c3\u2014768 @ 100.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 81.40 kHz; pclk: 113.31 MHz
\nModeline \u00e2\u20ac\u01531024\u00c3\u2014768_100.00\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 113.31 1024 1096 1208 1392 768 769 772 814 -HSync +Vsync<\/p>\n

Now you need to copy this to the monitor section of the \/etc\/X11\/XF86Config-4<\/p>\n

so that it would look something like:<\/p>\n

Section \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Monitor\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nIdentifier \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Generic Monitor\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nOption \u00e2\u20ac\u0153DPMS\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

# 1024\u00c3\u2014768 @ 100.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 81.40 kHz; pclk: 113.31 MHz
\nModeline \u00e2\u20ac\u01531024\u00c3\u2014768_100.00\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 113.31 1024 1096 1208 1392 768 769 772 814 -HSync +Vsync<\/p>\n

EndSection<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Save the changes and restart the xserver for the changes to take effect.<\/p>\n

Hope this helps.<\/p>\n
